Since the Left seized on civility as the solution to all problems political, it’s been fascinating to see them in action. The public union uprising, especially, has produced some revealing moments (everything from punching, swearing, pushing, yelling, denial of service attacks). And now, the incivility has extended to threatening Republicans on Facebook. In this most recent case, Michael Sarge Piotrowski who self-identifies on his LinkedIn | Read More »

Recently, I have taken to patrolling the comments section in our local newspaper here in Ohio. I don’t use the term ‘patrolling’ lightly either. It’s amazing that so many union shills descend on a newly posted article so quickly. It’s almost as if they are tipped off about the new piece. But our news media wouldn’t do that, would they? Of course not… but I | Read More »

The report is that the unions will agree to “the financial aspects of [Gov. Scott] Walker’s budget-repair bill” (which is nice, because they don’t have the votes to stop them) in exchange for the removal of the collective bargaining provisions (which is – oddly enough! – also something that they don’t have the votes to stop).

This post by Ann Althouse on the anemic protester response to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s budget plan – and it is an anemic response; it’s bad when you have to add a statue to your crowd in order to make your crowd look bigger – reminded me about Walker’s plan in the first place. I got told about this actually by Kevin Binversie, who runs | Read More »
